Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art?

I was talking to a friend who was telling me that he got into various artists because the LP cover was interesting, have you ever bought something for the same reason?

Then again, that was back when one could actually see the art on a full sized 12" LP. Trying to decipher what's on the cover of a CD is just about useless and doesn't grab nor hold my attention for long. Same goes for liner notes. It's just not the same anymore... Sean >
